Mateo 27:39 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:39

And they that passed by
In the road to or from Jerusalem; for, it seems, the crosses were placed by the wayside; or they who passed by the cross, the populace that came from Jerusalem, on purpose to see the sight,

reviled him,
or "blasphemed him": they spoke all manner of evil of him, they could think of, to which he answered not a word; and which may teach us patience under the revilings of men: this was foretold of him, ( Psalms 89:51 ) , "they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed", or "Messiah"; and which Jarchi explains by (ypwo) , "the ends of the king Messiah"; his last times, towards the close of his days; and cites that passage in the Misna ^F26,

``in the heels, or, as Buxtorf renders it, in the end of the days of the Messiah impudence shall be multiplied,''

as it now was exceedingly:

wagging their heads;
in derision of him, and as exulting in his misery; see ( Isaiah 37:22 ) ( Lamentations 2:15 ) . This also was prophesied of him in ( Psalms 22:7 ) .

Mateo 27:39 In-Context

37 Encima de la cabeza de Jesús, colocaron un letrero, que anunciaba el cargo en su contra. Decía: «Este es Jesús, el Rey de los judíos».

38 Con él crucificaron a dos revolucionarios,
uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda.

39 La gente que pasaba por allí gritaba insultos y movía la cabeza en forma burlona.

40 «¡Pero mírate ahora! —le gritaban—. Dijiste que ibas a destruir el templo y a reconstruirlo en tres días. Muy bien, si eres el Hijo de Dios, sálvate a ti mismo y bájate de la cruz».

41 Los principales sacerdotes, los maestros de la ley religiosa y los ancianos también se burlaban de Jesús.
